You know, I'm seriously getting tired of the way things are handled. Everything starts out with great intentions, but nobody has the right mind to finish anything anymore. It has been my distinct honor to see so many great ideas or great intentions be reduced to complete rubble or piles of crap within moments just because the person thought that the idea was all you needed.
The internet is one such idea. Great idea, great intentions... but ultimately crap. I don't know how many times I have to see "You have no life." or "Buy this Ringtone!" in combination with "ASL???". The internet used to be an awesome way of transferring information across huge distances within moments. Now it's nothing more than a collection of filth.
Every time I figure out how to get rid of one of the problems, another one appears. I'm sick and tired of walking into a chatroom and finding some moron in the mood to fight, just because he doesn't get enough attention at home. When I come into a common place to talk to a few friends, I don't expect to be sit and told that I have no grasp on reality or have no life by someone who's only reality is the insults that he or she can create on a fly. A hypocryte has no business telling me that I have something wrong with my life.
Could I be doing something better with my time? Sure, maybe, but that's my choice. I could be paiting my house, cleaning my room, chopping some wood, heck.. maybe even calling a few people and checking out what kind of party is going on right now, but I decided to go online, check up on a few people and keep with my usual "I'm bored" routine.
While I'm on the subject of the internet, and it's filth, what is the deal with these spam Instant Message bots nowadays? I can be sitting on yahoo, doing absolutely nothing at all except looking into blank space and get at least 10 messages within 10 minutes trying to sell me porn, single women, ring-tones, penis enlargement, ect. This is really getting pathetic. Leave the advertisement for websites. You got a problem with sales and products? Maybe you should look into a better friggin ad campaign than flooding my chatroom with "Hi! <3 Buy [XPill] to make [XBody Part] [XSize] and find your [XDream Date] while downloading [XRingtone] all the while watching [XPorn Star] stick [XRandom Object/Body Part] in [XAnimal/Person]!! xgfk" Oh yeah, I wanna buy some of that!!
What continually suprises me is that people online actually deal with these things in a normal routine. There are actually people out there who will take the person insulting them and argue back, instead of using an ignore function to remove the problem. There are actually people out there that don't get a spam blocker to remove pop up ads, or still download the ILoveYou.exe and run it, expecting to find out who actually loves them.
There are still people who believe that if they foward that email to 15 people that they're going to open thier wallet and see 100 bucks pop out of nowhere, or that they're never going to fall in love again if they don't. I saw a chain letter the other day that I absolutely loved. It didn't say "Find out who you love". It said if I didn't send this to 20 people within 20 minutes that I would die. Forget this love crap, forget getting money, this thing threatened my life. I asked it to marry me, because I hadn't seen it a million and one times before. We're getting a condo in Florida next week.
My new years resolution has been the following. I'm going to quit being a part of the problem. I'm going to start with this blog. Blog/Journals online are one main part of internet filth. Nobody wants to know how bad daddy treated you when you were a child. Get therapy. Nobody wants to know how trashed/drunk you got last night. You got trashed because you are just that. Trash.
I'm going to post worthy material. Posts worth reading, that excite the mind, make you think, make you laugh, and make you wonder. I'm not going to whine about how [someone] did [something] on [someday] and I feel so [some feeling] about it. Tell your friends, it should be rather entertaining.
And lastly, here's a warning for all people entering the internet. This is a dangerious and annoying place. I've been here for quite some time, I know most things wrong with it, I know how it works, and I've beaten the End Boss. (He was hard, by the way) If you are going to venture into this place, don't do it on the fly. Don't enter into a chatroom with 100 people and insult someone without knowing who they are. Don't come in here to vent. Don't come in here to make yourself something you're not. Come in here to be you, be kind, be friendly, and be aware. There are things lurking around every corner that wants to tick you off, crash your computer and make you feel like you "MUST BUY NOW!". Learn to control yourself, and you learn to control others. Welcome to the internet, now get out of my way.
